Hi can anyone please tell me if the cylinders being sold in the UK now have the CE markings (CE*******) I have just been to get them filled in France and was told my cylinders arn't no good.
Thanks

Both of mine have CE0038 stamped on 'em. I have some older cylinders in the house that have a BS mark stamped on them. So, I guess if the shop's stock is reasonably new, that would be yes, but probably best to look.

From memory of when I was getting fills in Francish type places the last couple of years, all they cylinders are the same ( I asked Faber about that one) but in the UK they are stamped CE0038, and in France I think it is CE 0062 (?).

If you have CE0038 on them, they should fill em, if not, give em some stick. (and 2 fingers :)

Ah...but when you "give 'em some stick (and two fingers)" - do remember that they own and operate the peice of kit you wish to access!;)

And don't try to convince them with official papers...they are Gallic! (and paper means nowt to them!):(

Now...give 'em a smelly, rancid and runny cheese and your cylinders will be filled before any paperwork could have been read!:D

That's OK if they're french then it's considered fair game.
lets face it they are a bit odd and really never seem to like us!
you cant blame them though, they are semi detached to the Germans, Terraced between the Italians and Dutch :eek:, across the pond from them is the British in their detached property, who wont stay on their side! enough to drive any race to blibobbledy and awkwardness.:rolleyes:

Out of interest does anyone know if a British kite mark is accepted in Europe?
